Description

Small Vintage Indian Brass Vase – Hand-Engraved – Mid-20th Century 
A charming small brass vase, likely dating from the mid-20th century, made in India and marked to the underside.

The surface is engraved with simple foliate and stylised motifs, typical of Indian brassware made for export in the 1950s–70s. 
There is some age-related tarnish and wear to the surface, but the vase retains a pleasing patina. 
The base bears an inscribed mark reading “INDIA” along with a partially legible manufacturer’s name. 
A modest and decorative piece, ideal for a small shelf or display. 

Dimensions: 5.5 x 5.5 x 15 (height)
